Notes
Won’t tumble
• Turn both faucets on fully.
• Make sure temperature selection is correct.
• Make sure hoses are connected to correct faucets. Flush water lines.
• Check the water heater. It should be set to deliver a minimum 120°F (49°C)
hot water at the tap. Also check water heater capacity and recovery rate.
• Disconnect hoses and clean screens. Hose filter screens may be plugged.
• As the washer is filling, the water temperature may change as the automatic
temperature control feature checks incoming water temperature. This is
normal.
• While the washer is filling, you may notice just hot and/or just cold water
going through the dispenser when cold or warm wash temperatures are
selected. This is a normal function of the automatic temperature control
feature as the washer determines the temperature of the water.
• Check fuse or reset circuit breaker.
• Close the door and press the Start/Pause pad. For your safety, the washer
will not tumble or spin unless the door is closed.
• Press the Start/Pause pad to stop the machine.
• It may take a few moments for the door lock mechanism to disengage.
• See Cleaning the Interior, page 9.
• Check fuse or reset circuit breaker.
• Straighten drain hoses. Eliminate kinked hoses. If there is a drain restriction,
call for service.
• Close the door and press the Start/Pause pad. For your safety, the washer
will not tumble or spin unless the door is closed.
• Use the High spin speed.
• Use high efficiency detergent to reduce over-sudsing.
• Load is too small. Very small loads (one or two items) may become
unbalanced and not spin out completely.
• Make sure door is firmly closed.
• Make sure hose connections are tight.
• Make sure end of drain hose is correctly inserted and secured to drain facility.
• Avoid overloading.
• Use high efficiency detergent to prevent over-sudsing.
